Sept Sat night EMH or Sun morn rope drop for crowds?

[Luckybee]

During our trip in Sept/Oct we were planning for 3 days at mk. namely Sat the 26th with just a couple of fp's, CRT at 9:30pm then the parade at 11pm. The next morning(Sun the 27th) we were doing rope drop with a bunch of rides including our 3 fp's until about 1 pm. Then on Monday(the 28th) dinner followed by the Wishes dessert party and a few rides that we didn't get to.

Now with emh on the Sat when we'll be onsite I'm wondering if we'd get to more rides faster using the Sat emh, or more with rope drop on the Sun morn. Sat is not a easywdw recommended day, Sun is !

Which would be less crowded....if we did more on Sat night we would have 1 less day at MK (although we'll have more ticket days avail then we'll use), but then we wouldn't have the fp's that we'd have Sun morning(we already have those accounted for for the Sat night).

The attractions we'd want to fit in (and we're expecting to do currently on the Sun morn ) are :

PP
Pooh
Under the Sea
Small World
Haunted M
Country Bear
Splash Mountain

Could we do all those from about 11:30 pm until 1 am...would we be better with rope drop the next morn?

We are going down the same time. I to am struggling with that Sat. night staying late or going early on Sunday. Planning your days at each park is hard and now we have to do fast pass also I am stressing.

The only one that would be hard would be country bears I think it closes each night about two hours before the park closes. That was my experience with it and with tiki in May. I checked MDE just now and that is the case tonight so I would assume its always like that.

Saturday nights in the MK were a mob scene already. I can't even imagine how they will be when EMH is added. I still don't get it.

I'd go Sunday morning rope drop all the way.

We did a Saturday night in the MK in early December on our last trip in 2012. It was CRAZY. And it wasn't even EMH. We bailed and went back the next morning. The difference was absolutely remarkable. Sunday morning was like a breath of fresh air.

Thanks all....we'll likely keep our plans the way they were before the emh changes , which means going on Sat night for just a few rides (and our crt dinner and the parade), Sun morn for a bunch of rides, and Mon night for the Dessert Party.
